Mail order to Ireland seemingly takes a long time, but in any case it would be too early to rate the new album.
As for the others:
1. EKMB, 2. Love, ire and song, 3. Tape deck heart, 4. Poetry of the deed, 5. Sleep is for the week.

he's right. objectively means without feeling and with music there is a lot of feeling.

maybe subjective would work better.

I mean, how good the quality of the music actually is, without being influenced by personal bias. For example, I prefer POTD to EKMB because POTD is more important to me on a personal level, but I would concede that EKMB is actually the superior album.

Go for it smige, live a little!

When Tape Deck Heart came out I ranked it as Frank's second best but I would now rank it much lower - I don't think it's possible to judge an album you've only been listening to for a few days.

Mine arrived yesterday, Watergirl, hope you're sorted by now too.

My order would be similar to yours, although I might swap 4 and 5 (possibly 1 and 2 depending on the mood!). Too early to say where the new one will rank, but I've had a serious case of Mittens earworm for the last few days (which is all the more odd as I wasn't keen on the song when I first heard it played live)
